Knox of Havergal Dis-| cusses the Part Which the Great Conflict Will Play in Their Affairs --New Professions Must Be Found---First. Aid- Unions Sug- | gested as an Outlet. ISS k. M. KNOX, of Haver- | gal Ladies' College, has | written a thoughtful little | booklet concerning the ef- fect of the war upon Cana- | She realizes as others | dian girls. have realized that in some respects this war will be the most important | event in a thousand years; that when it is over we shall be looking out upon a new world. Just what that world will be we know not, but Miss Knox points to "certain tendencies which appear likely to continue, and recommends that the education of women in Canada should be modified |. to comply with the conditiens that are likely to exist for some years after peace is declared. She remarks, | for instance, that as a result of the | death and disablement of so many | young Canadians, girls now in their teens can no longer look upon mar- | riage with the certainty of former | times. War has snatched their pros- | pective husbands from them by the | tens of thousands. | There must be, therefore; more wo- | men than ever crowding the profes- | sions, but the war will have made it | more difficult than ever for young girls to obtain a foothold in some of them. In nursing, for sinstance, | "their elder sisters are crowding the hospitals to take the place of those who are leaving for the front, and younger girls will find, as soon as the war is over and nurses on milit- ary duty return, that the profession is practically closed for four or five | years, at any rate." Egually un- promising is the teaching outlook, | Miss Knox says that this year for the first time teachers are finding it difi- | cult to obtain employment. In the | West rural schools are closing, and | married teachers through lack of | means are crowding back upen the profession. _ She does not believe that }\ more than ten per cent. of the candi- dates training this year is the Fac- ulty of Education will be able to se- | cure positions. Stenographers, housé- | keepers and governesses are far more | numerous than the vacancies for 'them. Domestic servants alone con- tinu® at a premium. These unfavorable conditions are | likely to be accentuated after the war | for Miss Knox expects to see a great | immigration of women later on. Eng- | lish worhen who have been called | upon to fill the places of men sent to the front will not easily reconeile themselves to return to their old | jdrudgery, Their thoughts will turn | naturally to newer countries, and | is likely to receive ' many thousands of them. Because of the hardship of pioneer life upon women- kind these immigrants will not in 'large numbers go West, but will re- 'main In the East to compete with open to them. "It is plain, then, that | if opportunities for marriage and for | 'employment are to be decreased as a result of the war it 'will be necessary for women to open up some new flelds for themselves. Miss Knox points out that it was after the Crimean War, end partly as a result of that strug- gle, that the modern woman was evolved, or rather that women began ito occupy 'fields that had previously been the exclusive domain of men. If strong leaders were at hand, what new li of occupation could | be created? sh¢ asks. In the first | place, girls could learn, in addition to | ordinary domestic service, first aid in carpentering, plumbing, and garden- ing, so that they might be not omly capable managers in their own home upon small means, but also form a new society among themselves. A First Ald Union, under a pable House Mother, would consist of girls in uniform, who, as télephoned for, would be ready to help in © emer- gencies, take care of children during ithe mother's sudden illness, nurse a | convalescent child, réad aloud, cook | or wait at a dinner party, do the | 'Small repairs of the house, the week's mending, and be at band for a hun- dred and one unexpected difficulties.

Ven-Archdeacon Renison Tells of | Sergeant Mansfield Saved Life of Their Views and Feelings. Some interesting stories of the views of the northern Indians in re- gard to the present war were told to a correspondent of The Toronta Globe by Ven. Archdeacon Renison, D.Dx, rector. of the Church of the Ascen- sion, Hamilton, Ont., who has just ar< rived here after a two-months' tour amongst the Indians and Eskimos ef Hudson and Jymes Bays. Dr. Rehi- | son, in charge eof Treaty Party No. 9 (whose first object was to pay treaty money to the Indians and then to investigate the conditions under | which they are living and their econ- omic' resources, especially on the northern shores of Hudson Bay), left Hudson, on Lac Seul, on June 22, and visited Osnaburgh, Fort Hope, Eng- | lish River, Martin's Falls, traveling 800 miles down the Albany River to the coast of James Bay. Thence the party took the steamer and went by | way of Charlton Island and the Twin Islands to Moose Factory, returning by the Abitibi and Frederickhouse Rivers to Cochrane. The whole trip lasted two months, and in that time Dr. Renison and his party traveled 1,600 miles and saw 3,600 Indians. "The attitude of the Indians in re- gard to the war 'is rather remark- able,'" said Dr. Renison in the course of the interview. "They do not like the idea of bayonet charges. One old Indian told mo that if they sent him after the Kaiser he would get his Winchester and would ereep up to him in the night the same way he would go after a moose. "Another old Indian at Osnaburgh, who heard that there was war, and that there was fighting at Valcartier, took his birch bark canoe and started off for the interior!" The Indians gathered in record numbers to meet the treaty party, and Dr. Renison, who speaks the Cree and Ojibway languages fluently, held a council with the Indians. "I endeavored - to talk to them about 'Kitcheoogenow George' (King George) and the great war," said Dr. Renison. "We found an intense feel- ing of patriotism among the Indians. They deeply appreciate the fairness, good faith, and gemerosity which the Canadian Governments have always shown towards them. The world- wide economic depression has affect- ed the fur market and the Indians are, of course, feeling the loss of that source of revenue. "As one chief pointed out in an eloquent speech, the Indian is much more blest than his poor white bro- ther when money is scarce, moose are running over the swamps of the north eountry in unprecedented num- bers, and rabbits and fish are plenti- ful. Again this chief pointed out that the Indian was favored in not having to make the supreme sacrifice of sending his sons to die for their country." "Strange to say," Dr. Renison re- marked, "owing perhaps to ~ the fact that they have not depended on flour and pork, but have lived more the life of their ancestors, sickness has been much less than in former years. The Eskimos at Whale River are suffering somewhat from a decrease in the number of reindeer in recent years, but the Government has made ample provision for every emergency which may happen. .

ROMANCE OF BERMUDAS. { Kitchener's Niece. Fit as a fiddle despite the severity | of bis experiences at the time, Ser- geant Henry J. Mansfield, | who saved Lord Kitchener's niece | from drowning, is at present with the | | second Canadidn contingent at Shern- cliffe.

There, he beheld a crowd gazing down on the channel below, where someone was drowning. A little boat containing three ladies had been caught in the strong tide- way. The fragile craft dashed against 'a coral reef, had thrown its occupants into 'the water. The crowd looked on as the unfortunate 'ladies shouted for help. But Mansfield did mot hang back. In a trice he was on the parapet. Next be dived straight down the one bundred and twenty feet to the water. Meanwhile, two of the young ladies--strong swimmers--had sue- ceeded in reaching the rocky shores, a good one hundred and fifty yards away. Their companion, however, was still struggling vainly fn the strong current, and to her aid Mans- field hurried, presently contriving to get her ashore.

A TRAPE PIONEER. Late Robert Wilkes Was Important Figure. in Canadian Commerce. To the August number of The Trader, which is the organ of the Jewellery business in Canada, Mr. W. J. Barr has contributed. a brief sketch Of the business career of the late Mr. Robert Wilkes, whose life was sud- denly cut short more than a genera- tion ago. A -native of Ireland, and with only a very primitive educa- tional training, he came to Canada at sixteen, and from that time he was left to make his own way in the world, After four years spent in the hardware trade he entered the service of the Rossin Brothers, wholesald Jewellers, whose business he took over in 1857. For a discouragingly long time his progress was slow, but by extraordinary versatility and in- vineible determination he ultimately achieved such 'exceptional success that in 1879 he retired from busi- ness. At forty-eight, with a marked fondness and a rare aptitude for pub- Mc. life, he "8ppeared to have a bril- | Hant future in prospect, when his useful and promising career came to a tragic close in 1880. The religiois communion of Mr, Wilkes' deliberate choice was that of | New Connexion Methodism, and of it he edrly in life became a strong pil~ lar of support umtil it was united with the Wesleyan Methodist body in 1874. From that event till his death he was one of the most prominent | and active laymen in thé Methodist | Church of Canada. In' politics Mr. | Wilkes was what may be called | philosophical radical. His experience | | in commercial businéss made him a free trader, and he so publicly an nounced himself when, in 1872, he | consented to become. the Liberal can- | didate in Centre Toronte, where he was elected by a very small majority. | In 1874 he was re-elected by an in- | ¢reased one, Dut, as his party had a good working majority without him, he withdrew soon afterwards into private life. There is some reason to believe that after 1879, if he had lived, he would have been brought back into the Parliamentary arena, where be could easily have kept him= seif In the front rank of Canadian Statésmen. It is worthy of note that ¢omparativel. "early in life he acquir- éd a practical command of both French and German, which he spoke fluently and found very useful in do- ing business in European countries. A Four-footed Spy. Wounded Canadians in hospitat at Cardiff tell a story of how a nest of spies 'was discovered in Northern France. Somewhere near the billets and firfag line there stood a coffee house inhabited by five people, in- cluding a boy. The troops on their way to the trenches used to call for refreshments, and the occupants con- sequently had exceptional opporfuni- ties of optaining Valuable informa- tion and always had a fairly good idea of the strength of the - forces holding the section of the trénches. The Germans in that part seemed to be well-informed of what was go- ing on in frost of them. Regiments arriving unexpectedly and without even the knowledge of the regiments in the trenches were hailed by name by the Germans.
